Looks like I got it wrong , I looked yesterday when I first got the E mail and I am sure that it said in the small print there was final value fees deducted from your payout , but re reading it now it appears not .

Have just re read it Daniel and I was WRONG , there are no , [as far as I can see] , final value fees for private UK sellers . Apologies

Its cobblers , you don't pay listing fees , BUT you still pay 12.5% of value of anything you sell , read the small print , no such thing as a free lunch .....

Too much uncertainty with Braid for me , will continue with my Luddite ways ands use mono , tried and tested ...

So many factors involved . On Yorkshire spate rivers prolonged heavy rain can lead to massive and rapid influx of water , this inevitably leads to huge amounts of debris being washed in to the river ,anything from tons of leaves to whole trees , sheep , I even saw a dead cow floating down the...

My point was that many of these braided lines cannot be relied upon to break at stated breaking strain , so how do you know what BS braid to buy ? Say you wanted some braid for a 15lb BS hooklength , do you buy one of stated of 15lb BS or one of 30lb BS , it all seems to be a bit of a guessing...

Just had a look at this line test chart . The inconsistency of braking strain on braid mainlines is amazing and quite shocking , surely this is a massive con and far outweighs the pros of braid as a mainline or indeed as a hook length

Bit prickly there Ian . It was only an observation on magnesium alloy possibly being brittle , not a ' ridiculous assumption' as you put it . Fish with what you like , I couldn't give a monkeys . I like the reels I mentioned as they are what I currently use . I have handled , owned and used...

I seem to recall that magnesium alloys had something of a reputation for being brittle . Back in the day when I had road going motorcycles, many tyre fitters would not use a tyre changing machine to change the tyre on magnesium alloy wheels as they feared cracking the rims , so perhaps this...

Used UPS scores of times both domestic and overseas , never had an issue

Get in touch with the controlling club [ if there is one ] and ask if they can send a bailiff down .Or , if is a club water , and you are a member , show them your membership card and ask to see there's , presuming they are just chancers it might just put them off from returning . Good luck !

Consider the market town of Easingwold , only 15 mins drive to the Ouse or Swale for angling , just off the A19 so easy road access to York , the Dales ,NY Moors or the seaside

I am old enough to remember when Hemp was banned by many angling clubs and associations as it was believed that the fish became addicted to it ! Other clubs used to ban bloodworm and jokers as it gave those who could get them an unfair advantage in fishing matches. As anglers we are always...

Would casting a feeder in every 5 minutes for 90 minutes perhaps have put the fish off ?

To be honest , I think it is easy to wildly over think this whole subject especially when struggling to catch Barbel . Barbel are not the brightest of fish that swim in our rivers , if they are present and feeding I honestly don't think it makes a huge difference what end rig you use . I don't...

I am curious Richard , why coated braid at night , and mono in the day ?

I would be interested to know if anyone had made a successful claim for a rod damaged in transit . I spent a considerable amount of time trawling through the small print of a number of couriers , all that I looked at[ at the time ] specifically excluded damage cover for fishing rods , others...

Anything over 1.4m and you will have to pay at least £30 carriage . Despite what couriers say , and has been pointed out , most couriers won't cover fishing rods for damage in transit . This said , I have posted many rods in UK and abroad and with one exception they all arrived safely posted in...
